Souvenirs and handcraft India, Kerala

 Shopping

India has a very rich arts and crafts sector. In Kerala, you will find saris of thin beige cotton, bordered with gold and hand-woven cotton fabrics. There are so many souvenir ideas: sculpted wooden items; clay figurines and masks representing kathakali characters; opper, brass and bronze iitems; oil lamps and other objects for praying, without forgetting all the fresh spices.
You can bargain everywhere, except in the state emporium, as these state shops located throughout the country have only fixed prices. In the big cities, shops open between 10:00 am and 19:00 pm or 20:00 pm, Monday to Saturday. They are closed on Sunday and during the holidays.
It is forbidden to export furs, snake skins and antic items and to import any ivory objects into Europe.
